JMC: PAUSE FOR THOUGHT:
Lets piece together this adventure over the next 4 days and see what we can discover. Who are the people who founded this festival? Who are the people who worked to get this racecourse and this meeting in particular up and running?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestbury,_Gloucestershire
Prestbury is a medium sized village near the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, ... Racehorse trainers Frenchy Nicholson and his son David Nicholson had stables in Prestbury. Notable Nicholson apprentices include Pat Eddery,
“The name
of the village means "Priests fortified place", from Anglo-Saxon preost and burh,
possibly from a fortified manor house belonging to the Bishop of Hereford in the 13th century.
The settlement is mentioned as Preosdabyrig in 899-904.
Prestbury is listed in the 1086 Doomsday Book as
"Presteberie", part of the property of the church of Hereford,
with 18 villagers, five smallholders, a priest, a riding man and 11
slaves. By the 13th century it had become Presbery. In 1249 the Bishop of Hereford was granted permission
to hold a weekly market along with a three-day annual fair in August.[2]”
"The Grand
Annual is the oldest race at the Festival, and it is also the oldest chase in
the present National Hunt calendar. It was first run in April 1834, and it was
initially contested over three miles of open country at Andoversford,
near Cheltenham. The race was discontinued in the 1860s, but it was revived at
the turn of the century. During the early 1900s it took place at several
different venues, including Melton Mowbray, Leicester and Warwick. It returned to Cheltenham in 1913.
"The name
of Johnny Henderson (1920–2003), a banker and racehorse owner, was added to the
race's title in 2005. Henderson, the father of trainer Nicky,
realised in the early 1960s that the racecourse at Cheltenham was attracting
the interest of property developers. To safeguard its future, and that of the
Festival, Henderson and other Jockey Club members
formed the Racecourse Holdings Trust, and raised £240,000 to purchase the
venue.[2]
The
running order of the races at the Cheltenham Festival was altered slightly in
2009, and the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase is now the last event on the
final day. "
